and of cheese 6, 800. coo pounds. The
value of our dairy products for twelve

. ORIGIN OF ooRPoRATIoNs.

The Large Capital Required Prevents Sue,
cess of Small Producers.
Machinery is now recognized as es-
sential to cheap production. Nobody
can produce effectively and economical
" without it, and what was formerly
known rs domestic manufacture is now
almost obsolete. But machinery is one
of the most expensive of all products,
and its extensive purchase and use re-
quire an amount of capital far beyond
the capacity of the ordinary individual
to furnish. There are very few men in
the world possessed of an amount of
wealth sufficient to individually con-
stIuct and own an extensive line of rail
road or telegraph, Il tirst-class steam
ship or n great factory. 1t is also to
be remembered that for carrying on
production by the most modern
and effective methods large capital is
needed, not only for machinery, but al
SO for the purchasing and carrying of
extensive stocks of crude material and
finished products Sugar can now be,
and generally is, refined at a profit of
an eighth of a cent a pound, and some
times as low as q sixteenth; or, in
other words, from eight to sixteen
pounds of raw sugar must now be
treated in refining in order to make
cent; from eight hundred to sixteer
hundred pounds to make dollar, from
eighty thousand to one hundred and
sixty thousand pounds to make a hun
dred dollars, and so on. The mere cap

Queer. 1t has been before stated that,
in the manufacture of jewelry by ma
chinery, one boy can make up nine
thousand sleeve-buttons per day; four
girls, also, working by modern methods,
can put together in the same time,
eight thousand coller-buttons. hut to
run an establishment with such facili-
ties the manufacturer must keep con-
stantly in stock thirty thousand dollars
worth of cut ornamental stODss, and
stock of cuf-buttons that represents
nine thousand different designs and pat
terms. Hence from such conditions have
grown up great corporations or stock
companies, which are only forms Of as
ISOLATED capital organized for effective
use and protection. They are regarded
TO some extent rs evils; but they arc
necessary, as there is apparently no
other way in which the work of pro
duction and distribution, in accordance
with the requirements of the age, can
be prosecuted. The rapidity, however,

The LEGEND OF The seLL.

Wis noon within the tower OF the bell,
The mallet strikes its craven metal side,
And out upon the air the deep tones swell,
Then break and die in echoes far and wide,
And after each loud, changing, braztn tone
Has rolled from dome above TO floor below,
There clearly sounds a sObbing. golden moan,
Which ends IN silver whispers faint and low.
And thus Il rings through all the changing days,
And there IS not a child who can not tell
IN All the Winding Chinese city ways.
This quaint old legend OF the wondrous bell.
Five hundred years ago the august Ming
Did order cast "a bell OF strongest mold,
That through the many-colored streets should
ring,
And formed OF iron, silver, brass and gold
His worthy steward called each bensmith there
The molds were formed, the metals fused
with skill,
The roaring fires were built and watched with
care,
And workers wrought with strong and ready
viii.
But when the beu was cast twas all in vain,
The gold had scOrned the silver ore and brass.
The molders wrought their weary task again,
And once again IL proved q shapeIess mass.
And then this direfuI message came one day:
''Thou hast betrayed the trust placed in thee.
Take heed from this and hasten 70 obey
The steward had one daughter fair to see,
And good was she and true, wen as fair;
And when the message came so full OF dread,
She quietly sold her Jewels rich and rare,
And sought a seer, who searched his books
and said:
"A maiden's form must with the ores unite,
Ere silver, gold and brass shall blend in one. %
The maid went home, her heart grown cold with
fright,
And secret kept what she had heard and done
At last the third and fatal casting came.
The lady with her maid stood by the door;
They saw the wOrkmen feed the furnace flame,
And watched the slowly whitening lake OF ore,
But ere the master gave the sign 70 cast,
For thee, my father, see 2" the maiden cried,
In brdiilSe notes above the roaring blast,
Then sank beneath the glowing metal tide.
They bore the father home with grief dlstTaught
While stin the maid before the furnace stood,
And held the tiny golden shoe she caught.
As fell the mistress meath the molten flood.
And yet in spite OF all they cast the bell,
Although they feared their work must useless
prove;
But, strange TO say, they found no trace to tell
OF her who gave her life with childlike love.
And when the bell was cold the molders found
II fair and perfect, both in tint and form,
And far above all other bells in sound,
With tone like pealings from O summer storm
And when each swelling tone has died away
And sharply sweet the silver note rings
through,
IT'S then the Chinese mothers softly say;
1.-The maid is calling. crying for her shoe"
